Jeremy Guthrie was charged with five runs in 6 1/3 innings Wednesday in a no-decision against the Indians.
That doesn't tell anywhere near the whole story. The first three runs came on the inside-the-park homer on which Alex Gordon got hurt. That ball, hit by Jason Kipnis, probably should have been caught. Then, in the seventh, the lights suddenly went out at Kauffman Stadium, resulting in a 12-minute delay. Guthrie, thrown off his rhythm, walked back-to-back batters afterwards and was pulled. The two runners came around to score off Will Smith. Under different circumstances, Guthrie's ERA would have gone down tonight. Instead, it increased.
